I have just switched to clumping litter but want to purchase a disposal system. Wonder if the clumps will be too large for the opening. Any advise?

No not at all! The opening is large enough for the bigger pieces of litter. No worries there. What I advise is to buy baking soda and stick in the bottom of the Litter Champ and you can't even smell the litter. I love this product. We have two 6 month old kittens and it is awesome! I hope this helps!

I use non clumping litter and love this product.... the opening is fairly large, i cant imagine it would be a problem....they would have to be some pretty large clumps !!!

I tried this system, and don't really like it as the scoop is too small, as is the opening through which you must dump the clumps into the bin is small. I find that I spend twice as much time cleaning the litter boxes as the scoop is too small. If you don't mind the extra time scooping, and perhaps breaking up the larger clumps, then this system might be fine.

I use Tidy Cat clumping litter and so far have had no problems. I LOVE my litter champ. Just had to change the bag system for the first time....easier than I was expecting. Followed the directions, no problems.

I wouldn't recommend putting any type of litter into the toilet. Clumping litter will expand in the water and clog your toilet. Don't do it!

Ana,I wouldn't call it a perfect fit. I have the same litter box, I had to play with the liner a bit but was ae to make it work just fine. It definitely fits better than the bag liners. What I like most about the liners is that unlike the plastic bag liners these do not tear when scooping. Plus they have small adhesive strips on both sides to hold the liner in place.

In my opinion, the sides are too high for most cats to be able to do that....unless there was a lot of litter in the box to bring level of waste up high. Does that make sense? I hope so. Hope this helps you.

Actually the beauty of the system are the pre=packed trays which are sold with the system and as replacements. Honestly, even though the base of the tray is a laminated chip board paper, i wouldn't keep it around for use with another litter. Eventually the urine will permeate the paper tray.In this case: Use as directed is a good path to follow.

I recommend that you continue to use the ScoopFree Crystals. I have tried to used the crystals combined with a less expensive clumping litter; however, it seems to be more difficult for the motor moving the rake to drag through the heavier, clumping litter. I also noticed that the other litter had a residue that when mixed with the urine stuck to the plastic bottom of the tray making it harder to clean. I hope this answers your question... Good luck!

You can use any good clumping litter! Also, I cut a tall kitchen garbage bag to line the collection pan. Just take bag out and dispose of it. Saves money on buying new collection receptacles.

I purchased the square one. I didnt need some so big. I would take measurements, height and width. The hole on top is smaller than a regular garbage can. So that might be a little problem. I think you are going to try to close the lid by screwing it on. Only makes sense but I think that is a problem of its own cuz screwing the lid on will also turn the garbage bad. Good Luck

I dont know. I doubt it because the litter clumps are very hard and would be difficult for the mechanism to move them and sweep them through.

Don't use good clumping litter. The chunks get stuck in the slot and you have to break them apart.

You'll need to figure out which litter works best for you. Certain litters don't clump solid enough and the convey belt will break apart the clumps, but I buy the big tub from Sam's Club and it works amazingly for that. The 'fast clumping' brands didn't seem to stay together well enough

I don't know, but the previous comment about the litter clumping very hard makes sense. Probably would not work, but there is a smaller size bag you can get if you want to try.

Yes - I've found the grates get clogged with clumping litter, especially if they pee near the sifter. We tried almost every kind of litter, but in the end we went with non-clumping crystal litter or as an alternative non-clumping clay. After the crystals are spent we take off the hood and tilt the box backwards into the waste bin. Then we refill with fresh litter. That's made the box well worth the price for us. We have 7 cats and this has cut down on litter box maintenance considerably for us. We own two of these plus our normal cat boxes. I much prefer cleaning this box to the others.

Yes. I use clumping litter and it works just fine. As long as the cat doesn't drag out a large chunk of poop or something it will fall through just fine.

As long as you use a good clumping litter you should be OK. I usually use Scoop Away because it clumps well and I have 3 cats. The litter box is great. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have through the years.

The opening is as pictured in the front or back, however you place it. The top has 2 carbon filters, which I change quarterly. In my one location of litter pans, 5 kitties have access to 2 pans, so I'd say the filters work well. I also use Tidy cat scoopable litter for small spaces, which I class as excellent. Hope that helps. Previous answers are accurate.

I will tell you the exact same thing as I mentioned to the other person who asked. The way LitterMaid markets this is so you spend lots of money. You don't have to replace filters or poop catchers as often as they say. The box stays closed after the scoop dumps the poop in it. The poop bucket pulls out so you can empty it. Another suggestion is the top part of the poop bucket sometimes comes loose so put a piece of tape on the sides so it doesn't move. Let me know if this helps you.
